I receive newsletters and ads from EVGA. They are offering a GPU trade in scheme also. I don't know how their scheme is structured, because I have no interest in upgrading at the moment.

Fortunately, I heard about the bug, before the update arrived on my machines. I immediately save all of my docs on the "C" drive to other drives. One of which, is an external drive. Microsoft really has to do a better job, of testing its updates, before releasing them. But.. it ain't as bad as a...

Has anybody ever heard of Tunnelbear???? I think they have great customer service, and a great bear related sense of humor. I've used it for a number years. My annual fee is $49.99. There is a free version, with a limited amount of use per month. It can be used on five devices at a time, and...

I find this information very upsetting, because until recently. I was a big customer, and proponent of Newegg. I sourered on Newegg, when as one person mentioned here. They "Threw me under the bus", by reporting my purchasing history for a NUMBER of years. To the Tax authorities of my state...

I get the impression from this article. That SandboxEscaper was a jerk, by releasing this info before informing Microsoft of this/these exploits, and telling the world about it. But the most important question I have is. Does the Microsoft Sept. 11 patch, address all of the hacks mentioned in...

I'm surprised that there are no EVGA cases mentioned here. I find their product inventory to be first class, along with great customer service. I have three tower PCs - a Full tower, mid-tower, and small tower, (not mini). All of them have optical drives, and two have card readers. I was stunned...

I noticed in the past a few days, that along with my usual Google voice text notifications, I'm getting an audible tone with them. That was something that I have wanted for sometime. Before this, after sending a text on my PCs, I had to keep an eye on my monitors, to see when I got a response. I...

Hellwig said, and I quote - "For the Spectrum apologists, why should Spectrum get to violate agreements made with the state of New York and remain in business? The whole point is that New York said the merger has to benefit a specific number and type of people, or they will essentially reject...

I had to replace a liquid cooler system, in a machine that I bought from iBuypower. The original, was a brand I never heard of, which I find can be common in factory builds. I replaced that with a Corsair H 100i water cooler. I installed it a couple of years back, so I'm waiting for that one to...

I just built a rig from the ground up using a EVGA Z299 Black motherboard, ( which by the way.. I thought would 'future proof me for a few years. ). Now I have to figure out the difference between Z370 and Z299. ( Sigh.. :-\ ).

I hate to be the "Ugly American" here. But it would be convenient for all of the measurements to be calculated in both millimeters and inches. Also, the whole tempered glass trend in current cases, seems to be a little extreme, and adds weight to the cases. With the way some of the shipping...

My years' old machines are starting to fall around me, like empty beer bottles. Not to mention my seven year old Samsung Plasma TV's screen is getting more fine lines on it than my face. ;-) I'm holding out to upgrade components till after the holidays.. If my stuff lasts that long. :-|

For "future proofing", I always buy 1200 Watt PSUs.. As Tim the "Tool Man Taylor" in the old Home Improvement TV show, use to say.. "Mooore poowwerr!! Awh.. Awh..!" :-)

I have a thermaltake full tower computer that I purchased from iBUYPOWER, four years ago. It has a plastic side panel with a 7(?) inch fan. (Sorry but I'm not comfortable converting inches into millimeters for fans). The system has a 4-1/2 inch, in the rear and front of the case. I also have a...

Approximately eight plus years ago. I bought a Gateway 30 inch monitor. In those days it was hard to find a popular brand that made monitors that large. In my opinion it has taken a number of years for more companies to add 30" monitors to their inventories. It has been comparatively easy to...
